a fool (Pointing at him) (Machista) A fool? Ha, ha, ha! You won’t live to

see your people wiped out. I have waited an eternity to rid the Apache
from this land. (Blackfoot) You haven’t won yet. Fight. (Blackfoot gets
into a combat stand).

Show Blackfoot fighting Machista with him shifting shapes. Switch

the scene with Ben’s father remembering what Blackfoot told him.

(Longstand) The owl and the coyote. (Indian Guard) The owl and the
coyote. What about them? (Longstand) Talking to myself (Pause).

Machista. Longstand starts to run up to the plateau where his
grandfather is located. Switch the scene to Ben and Tracey entering
the security post. (Soldier #1)Ben, how did you get past us? (Ben)

What are you talking about? I just got here. (Soldier #1) You just came
here and asked for Blackfoot. (Tracey) Must have been that other Ben.

Can we get by? (Ben) You said I asked for my grandfather? Machista.
Where is my grandfather? (Soldier #1) He’s at the top of the hill.

Ben and Tracey start to run to the hill to try and stop Machista.
Switch the scene to the hill and Ben’s dad fighting Machista.

(Longstand) Machista, fight me, not an old man. I’m certain a god such as

yourself can still fight. (Machista) Good, I’ll take your offer. (Blackfoot)
Long, run. Remember what I told you. (Machista) Shut up, old man. I want

you to see your son die.

Longstand starts to fight Machista and Machista changes his shape

to look like Longstand.

(Longstand) I don’t care what form of deception you use, I know how to
stop you. AT that moment, Machista breaks the back of Blackfoot.

(Machista) Stay down. (Blackfoot) Long, please run!

Machista then smashes the jaw of Blackfoot and is stabbed by
Longstand as he pulls out the blade.
